Magic Leap - which counts Google and Warner Bros among its investors - has not actually set a timeline for when its mixed reality content will be available to the public or what form it will take.

However, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy certainly seems excited about the partnership: "The future of mixed reality and immersive entertainment holds incredible promise, and we are honoured to work with Magic Leap to shape that future.

"At Lucasfilm and ILM, innovation has always been in our DNA; through this collaboration, ILMxLAB further propels our legacy of exploration and leadership on this new platform for experiential storytelling."

This footage was unveiled as part of the Wired Business Conference on Thursday.

Lucasfilm has previously ventured into the VR format with Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine, an HTC Vive game that allows players to perform heroic tasks under the direction of Luke Skywalker.

The studio launched its ILMxLAB to explore virtual reality projects in 2015.
